Detachable umbrella mounts for coolers are provided that include a base, having two or more for engaging a tow handle of a cooler when the detachable umbrella mount is in a mounted configuration, that is configured to be selectively engaged with, and alternatively disengaged from the tow handle, a stabilizing element that engages with the base when the detachable umbrella mount is in the mounted configuration, and an elongated tubular member attached to the base and extending from a base end to a top end having a top opening configured to receive at least a portion of a shaft of an umbrella. Coolers are also provided that include a container portion and a detachable umbrella mount selectively affixed thereto. Methods for selectively mounting a detachable umbrella mount to a cooler are also provided.

An assembly for transporting containers and more specifically an ice chest cooler to a desired location is described. The assembly comprises a strap which has been sewn together to form the shape square in the center. On end of the square, the fabric extends out and contains a fastener to connect to the handle of the ice chest cooler. On the other end, the fabric extends to form a handle. Assembled to the fabric is a pair of axles. The two axles are coupled at their ends to a pair of wheels on the front and rear of the assembly while the cooler is positioned on top of the axles. One method of assembling the axles to the fabric is by puncturing precise holes in the fabric to pass the axle through the fabric and mate the fabric and axle to the inner side of the wheels.

A cooler sled device for facilitating transport of a cooler over surfaces such as gravel, loose terrain, and sand includes a panel. A bottom surface of the panel is convexly curved between outer sides of a perimeter edge of the panel and extending rearwardly from a front side of the perimeter edge defining an upwardly turned front section of the bottom surface. Each of a pair of wells is positioned on an upper surface of the panel and proximate a respective one of the outer sides of the perimeter edge for receiving wheels coupled to a cooler positioned on the panel. A strap is positionable to extends across the upper surface of the panel for securing the cooler on the panel.

A portable beach cooler is capable of reducing the temperature of stored items. A main cooling body opens to reveal an ice tray. The ice tray may be connected to a lifting mechanism that allows the ice tray to rise for convenient user access to ice. The lid of the cooling body may have several cupholders traversing through the lid, providing direct access to ice for contained beverages. A cupholder adapter may support beverages atop the lid or may be inverted atop a beverage contained within the cupholder to provide direct beverage access to ice while simultaneously preventing cold air from escaping. A set of tracked wheels is connected to a motorized frame capable of supporting the cooling body. The apparatus may further be equipped with cameras to allow for automatic maneuvering of the motorized frame behind a user, as well as a variety of other electronic ports and devices.

A thermal cart for in-flight distribution of consumables. An enclosure is formed by thermally insulating material, including a first side panel, a second side panel, a top panel, a bottom panel, at least one door frame, and a door in each at least one door frame. A rear panel is provided in half-size carts where only one door frame and door are provided. Full size carts ae provided where a rear door frame and rear door are provided instead of a rear panel as used in the half-size cart. The thermally insulating material may include a thermoplastic inner lining, at least one vacuum insulated panel, and an outer structural panel. A plurality of rods is provided, each having end of rod tooling. Complementary tooled structures such as binding barrels, or sleeves, or threaded holes, are provided for joining with ends of the rods. Joints may be provided and secured to locate and provide resistance for securing the rods in tension. Frame assembly extrusions may join adjacent panels, and an inner elastomeric extrusion is provided with each frame assembly extrusion, to provide a seal with the thermoplastic inner lining.

A ski attachment for a wheeled insulated cooler which includes a left ski and a right ski and an upturned flange on each that is biased towards the inner edge of the ski. The upturned flange and a bracket are coordinated to allow a fastener to attach the bracket to the upturned flange. The bracket captures an axle and allows free rotation of the axle when the skis are connected to the axle. The bracket captures the axle to prevent the axle from being dislodged from the bracket on the ski. The ski is wide enough and long enough to provide sliding support for the insulated portable cooler over surfaces where wheels aren't useable.

A cart assembly includes a cart and a container assembly that is removably supported on the cart. The container assembly may simply rest on a platform of the cart, or may be removable secured to the cart. The container assembly includes a crate and a liner that is removably received within and supported by walls defining an interior cargo space of the crate. The liner itself includes walls containing a phase change material. The walls may be defined by panels having interior spaces in which components encasing the phase change material are contained. The liners are collapsed and stored in a freezer until needed. The liners are then placed within the crates and food items requiring refrigeration are placed within the lined cargo spaced of the crates. The crates are then staged awaiting customer pickup or packed in a vehicle for customer delivery all without further refrigeration.

A storage transport apparatus is disclosed that includes a single wheel member and a main frame. An outer shell of the single wheel member comprises a pair of shell members secured to a central member, which has a pair of pin structures internally secured at diametrically opposite ends and extending at least towards the inner shell. An inner shell of the single wheel member comprises a pair of shell bearing members positioned at diametrically opposite ends, each being rotatably secured to inner member of a corresponding pin structure extended towards the inner shell. The inner shell is formed and configured to fit within the outer shell, the outer boundary of the inner shell preferably conforming in shape with the inner boundary of the outer shell, proximally tracing the contour of the inner boundary of the outer shell. The inner shell and the outer shell are hollow in construction, with the inner shell further including a lid configured to open and close for storing a plurality of items for transportation. The inner shell is disposed within the outer shell and adapted to remain upright when the outer shell rolls in a circular motion along a ground surface. The main frame comprises a handle and is rotatably engaged with the single wheel member. Each end member of the main frame comprises a corresponding frame bearing member, and extends inwardly to rotatably engage with corresponding pin structure of the central member.
